You know that thing when you’re shopping online and you open up a bunch of different products and different tabs because you’re trying to figure Out which thing you’re gonna get maybe you’re comparing maybe If you’re shopping for clothes You might open up a couple different articles of clothing and different tabs and you go back and forth you close this one add this One to car close that one If you’re anything like me sometimes you close all the windows and then have to open up a new window to that store to go back to your shopping cart So I was looking for some new shoes some new treadmill desk shoes Here’s what happened Your Daily Lex Years ago, I’m talking probably 18 years ago when I switched to a treadmill desk When I switched with standing desk and then a treadmill desk, you know first couple days I was in bare feet and did that hurt then I was in regular shoes And then they still wasn’t doing great for my feet.

So I learned about MBT And I bought some different pairs of MBT shoes I didn’t just buy one pair of MBT shoes because one of the things that I read about was that You know shoes take a beating when you walk in them all day and giving them a day to recover in between wearing them is Good, so I got a few pairs and I would switch amongst them So I’ve had those for many many years I had a couple of pairs down by the Basement treadmill and I had one pair that has just lived up here in the office and so on I went back to the treadmill Recently, I was using those old MBT shoes But I was only using one pair the one that was up here so I grabbed some from the basement started walking them on this very treadmill that I’m walking on right now and They started disintegrating so the one that had been up here a sandal based pair actually did great But some sneaker style ones that I had literally started falling apart on the treadmill like dematerialize vanishing under my feet if you will and That’s not the ideal way for shoes to operate so I wrote to MBT and I’m like, hey this sucked and Is this expected and they’re like, hey, we now own MBT and previously somebody else on MBT and sometimes they used a glue that would Not be good.

So you’re way past warranty, but we’ll give you 30% off a new purchase if you want.

I was like sure Okay, fine So I browsed MBT site And I looked at different shoes and saw some and I remember they they run a tiny bit small I think they even say so on their website.

So I was looking for ones that I Thought could slip on and off easily because sometimes you got to take them off in a hurry If I have to go outside, I don’t wear my treadmill shoes outside because they’re just for the inside treadmill And found a couple different ones put them in my cart checked out Did not notice until I unboxed them that I ended up ordering two pairs of the same shoes Which is fine I like it My idea was to get different pairs so I could you know Easily switch among them with the one that I already have and these two new ones except now I have two identical pairs and I could return one and then order a new new pair, but I Was thinking it doesn’t really matter.

Like I don’t care About the different styles or anything.

It’s just wanting to be able to rotate So I have to simply mark one of the pairs that’s identical to another pair so I can tell them apart and keep them in A healthy rotation.

I’m thinking just a permanent marker inside the Tongue of the shoe or something But it was so funny to me when I unboxed the second one because immediately my thought was did I screw up?

Nah, they must have screwed up.

They accidentally grabbed two pairs of the same shoes.

Let me check my Order confirmation and indeed the same shoe listed twice good stuff So anyway, I now own a total of three pairs of MBT shoes But only two unique pairs of MBT shoes.

That’s just math My Super Bowl party is about a week and a half away And I’m still waiting for a handful of RSVPs I had already done the thing where you go on evite and you say hey email all the people who still haven’t replied yet And that motivated zero incremental responses So then it was a job of Lauren and me each needing to text some folks who hadn’t responded Most of whom have now RSVP.

I think I still have two holdouts or both Lauren people and Only then can I order food knowing definitively how many attendees I will have I like ordering food for parties now I’m down 23 or so pounds since I started working with a trainer back in November And I’m gonna order a bunch of food for the Super Bowl I can’t say I’m gonna eat a bunch of food at the Super Bowl But I am gonna build towards it as a day.

I have a little bit of extra advantage So an extra advantage by which I mean Ability to eat a bunch of food at the Super Bowl An extra advantage by which I mean Ability to eat more things.

We’ll see Anyway, that’s all I got.

Hope your Wednesday, January 29th is going as well as can be hoped in today’s world Which is to say probably not that well, but we’ve still got to find things to be happy about lex
